We only use positive methods in our training programs and your puppy will thrive being able to understand what we are teaching. By using positive methods, we teach our puppies that training is fun, enjoyable, rewarding and not intimidating. We will cover a lot of self control exercises and make training easy to incorporate into your everyday routines. We don’t believe in bribing your puppy when training, we like to use a “currency” to motivate them to think for themselves and offer desired behaviours. The most important goal we have is for you to build a strong relationship with your dog built on love, positivity, trust and respect. With this program your puppy will be happy to listen to you, and you will gain the best friend you could ever ask for.

This session is 6 – one hour and 15 mins classes – max 6 puppies. Each class consists of training/socialization and is designed for puppies under 5 months. For any puppies over 5 months, we do offer a Level One Obedience program called Obedience Bootcamp that would be a good match for you!
